(This chapter tries to explain the soul. ~, yo haha)
Zhang Jingyuan glanced at Zhu Danfeng but said nothing; Boss Zhang had signed a soul contract compulsorily at that time, so of course he understood Zhu Danfeng's thoughts. But what can I say? How can humans compare with animals?
In the face of exploration and other matters, Zhang Jingyuan cannot provide more help. This thing requires the collective wisdom of a large number of elites. The power of one person has a relatively limited role in such exploration. Therefore, Boss Zhang can only find out the specific research results, etc., or wait for research from scientists. The development of science and technology itself is a means of collective efforts. What Boss Zhang can do is to silently shoulder the serious consequences of some scientific research failures!
Let’s talk about the exploration presided over by Li Xianjie. After careful consideration, up to 20 unmanned spacecraft were dispatched for the second time to explore; at the same time, in order to save time, there are more than 1,000 unmanned spacecraft waiting behind - once If the unmanned spacecraft in front crashes, or there are new mission requirements, it will set off immediately to save time. Some spacecrafts are even temporarily equipped with some creatures, such as chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, in preparation for experiments.
Wave after wave of unmanned spacecrafts set off. They can only detect this strange world when they exceed the speed of light, and they often only have one or two days to work. But after a long period of exploration, scientists finally discovered and determined that if they passed slowly through this world, the fleet would not be able to touch it at all - it would be like walking through a shadow, with no impact; but if it passes slowly in this world, If you advance at sub-light speed, that is, if you advance above 0.9 times the speed of light, you will interact with the world.
Also, for the time being, no intelligent life has been discovered in this world. Even the weird life that has been discovered temporarily - even if it is considered life, has a sense of slowness - like the elderly.
Then pass it like this! Xiao Qingshan and others have already decided. Passing through this world at 0.8 times the speed of light, although it will be a little slower, there should be no danger; and if it is slower, it will not matter.
But before Xiao Qingshan could do anything, the new experiment shocked everyone!
After an unmanned spacecraft brought in several pets, chickens, ducks, cows and other animals, those slow-moving lives suddenly went crazy - like a starving person suddenly seeing big fish and meat; and then in a short moment. All the animals died, and the bodies of these animals were intact. However, according to the equipment on the unmanned spacecraft, it was determined that they were brain dead, that is, their mental power had disappeared!
This incident really shocked everyone!
"Whether it is the soul or the spiritual power that is being swallowed is temporarily uncertain. We need to let the spacecraft return!" Guang Liwei's attitude was firm and calm. This little girl who was the first person to perform perfect genetic technology has grown into a spokesperson for the new generation of life technology, and she shames men as a woman. During the fleet's exploration process, Guang Liwei was responsible for the physical health of all personnel, including medical care, which was also under Guang Liwei's control.
Because of practice. Chinese civilization has done a lot of research on the soul and spiritual power; however, due to technical reasons, spiritual power can be detected with instruments, but the soul can still only be handled by master practitioners. This is also for the time being. There are only a handful of areas in the empire that still use a large number of cultivation methods, and cannot be almost completely replaced by technological methods - another one is alchemy and cultivation itself. However, in alchemy, the intermediate and low-level parts can be "planted in batches", while in practice, knowledge can be used to instill techniques and save the learning process.
It's easy to come back. As long as the speed of the spacecraft drops below the speed of light, it will automatically leave that world. It's a wonderful experience - but no one thinks it's wonderful now. It's too dangerous, isn't it? It actually swallows up mental power and even souls!
If mental power is relatively simple, it is because China already has relevant mental power equipment, including the technology of knowledge infusion itself, which is a technological application of mental power. But it would be troublesome if it were a soul attack. Technological means cannot be used, and master practitioners can only be sent to explore.
This torment lasted another year - the fleet certainly did not dare to get too close to the location of the strange world, and the corpses of chickens, ducks, dogs and cows that were frozen in space were transported back.
"The soul disappears, and all that's left is just a body!" As masters of spiritual practice, some people can directly feel the soul; in the eyes of these masters. Whether a life has a soul or not is as obvious as looking at a complete drink and an empty bottle.
"The world of near nothingness, between existence and nothingness, has a special madness for the soul. This seems to be very similar to the soul!" Yang Sheng pinched his chin and suddenly opened his eyes, "Do you think the soul itself is also It’s just a shadow! So, after so many years of exploration, we know nothing about the soul!
Because just like the shadow of a tree, this thing does not exist! To be precise, the tree shadow is just a piece of information, not a real, physically existing substance; it is just a phenomenon, just a piece of information. It is also an existence between existence and nothingness! ”
"This..." All the scientists and people on site were shocked!
If the soul itself is a shadow, then where does the body come from?
But speaking of it, if the soul is a shadow, a shadow with information, then it is really true!
The shadow of the tree is the shadow that carries the message! How is the information represented? Of course it is the shape of the shadow - for example, through the shadow we can see the side shape of the tree, see the density of the leaves, see the movement of the wind, identify the direction, etc. These are the "information" of the tree shadow!
So conversely, is the same thing true for the soul? It is between existence and non-existence, and is a carrier of information!
Yang Sheng's explanation sounded reasonable. But here comes the biggest question, what is the shadow of the soul?
Is it a fragment of the world projection?
Or is it simply a shadow of another world - that is to say, our world is a world inside a computer?
In other words, what Yang Sheng accidentally discovered before - the true spirit, that is, human consciousness?
Life has always been a complex problem, from the birth of life to the structure of life, especially intelligent life. The more you explore, the more problems you will find! and most importantly, the exploration of life. Often after uncovering this layer of mystery, you will find that there seems to be something underneath!
"Perhaps exploring this world will help us understand the nature of life." Yang Sheng said to himself, and suddenly raised his head, "I want to go on-site to explore the world. Who wants to come? For safety reasons. Sign up this time Only those of Immortal level are accepted!”
"I'm going!" "I'm going!"......
Enrollment is overwhelming at this time! Don't forget, this assault fleet originally gathered 70% of China's immortal-level experts. It is not a big deal to find a few immortal-level adventurers. And there are a lot of scientists here - they are very old, and even a little research has yielded great results.
A brand new expedition team was established in this way. The team, led by Yang Sheng, consisting of more than 20 immortal masters, set off on a 3-kilometer-sized, modified frigate. 20 people. Each of them is an elite from all walks of life, and possesses strong combat capabilities. In addition to their own abilities, they even have many high-tech weapons on them. These weapons are not mass-produced, but specially built. A powerful weapon specially equipped for masters.
Keeping in touch with the rear at all times, the spaceship, escorted by more than 100 armed unmanned spacecraft of various sizes, plunged into the space ahead.
The original space came out - the undercurrent of time and space. It was like coming from a cave to a vast plain, and the pressure on my heart and soul was instantly released. This is due to changes in space. Of course, it is also caused by the pressure caused by more than two hundred years of undercurrent travel in time and space.
For more than two hundred years of darkness, I had to worry about this and that all the time. This life was not easy. Fortunately, I got rid of it for the time being. For a while, everyone felt like the sky was high and birds could fly.
Here, it should be regarded as another world connected by the undercurrent of time and space. The undercurrent of time and space is like a passage linking two worlds, and now that you are out of the passage, your eyes are of course spacious!
It's just that the world in front of us is a bit special. The spacecraft needs to accelerate to sub-light speed to barely detect it, and it can only see it if it exceeds the speed of light - such a world. Even if it is known, ordinary civilization cannot explore it.
But shortly after leaving the "passage", a strange aura enveloped the hearts of Yang Sheng and others!
Sen Leng! It's like the coldness of a person coming to the depths of the jungle at night, the coldness of being topped by a poisonous snake and beast.
There is also a faint smell of decay, like the feeling in a jungle where all the trees are half dead and there are cobwebs hanging everywhere. It is very weird and uncomfortable.
In addition to these, there is also a feeling of nothingness, which is like an ordinary person being suspended in mid-air with no place to move up and down.
Before the spacecraft had time to accelerate to sublight speed, an alarm came out, detecting the intrusion of alien information!
He actually actively invaded! Yang Sheng and others gathered together and were on full alert. Gathered in an empty hall, this hall is hundreds of meters in diameter. It used to be a warehouse connected with small spaces, but now it has been transformed into a special "cage" - this is what Yang Sheng saw for that Less prepared for life!
Perhaps China was unable to detect these things that exist between existence and non-existence at the beginning, but the powerful scientific and technological foundation and the scientific and technological power of the pseudo-sixth level civilization have allowed China to develop in less than ten years of exploration. The corresponding technology can be developed to detect the existence of these weird things.
Don’t forget, China’s great migration took away all their family assets; even this assault fleet has at least three complete sets of industrial equipment in the fleet, plus the use of semi-intelligent machinery, which is enough to allow China to move in space , also has a strong ability to self-replicate. Theoretically, as long as there is still a set of industrial equipment, the material part of the entire Chinese civilization can be reconstructed; but in fact, with enough scientists, enough energy, and some scientists, even if there is a set of The four spaceships with void smelting technology can complete the reconstruction of the entire Chinese civilization's technological and social foundation. This is the power of technology!
And similarly, in this undercurrent of time and space, simply developing and producing some new equipment is really not a big problem.
"The spaceship accelerates to super-light speed. I want to see what kind of thing it is. It has the courage to cause trouble for 20 immortals!" Yang Sheng sneered. I really thought that these 20 immortals were randomly selected, and they were prepared to capture this thing.
The yellow warning strip slowly shortens and gets closer to the red warning strip, which indicates that the other party is approaching.
It's hard to believe that there is such a "life" in the universe that can actually penetrate the wall regardless of the defense of the spacecraft!
Boom... At a certain moment, the spacecraft finally officially broke through the speed of light and entered the super-light flight stage. And at this moment, the yellow warning strips on the spacecraft came to an end and the red warning strips lit up; at this moment, there was a slight shock around the hall where Yang Sheng and 20 people were, and a layer of gray-white mist appeared out of thin air; and in In this gray-white mist, there are densely packed mist monsters...not just animals! (To be continued...)
